Good condition Gibson SG Les Paul from 1962. Original finish and parts. Original pickups have been taken out at some stage and replaced with later PAT Number PAFS which look to be from 1965. No covers for the pickups. Super light weight and super slim 60s C neck shape. Still has the original frets in it. Comes with a modern Gibson hard case. Amazing guitar....nothing quite sounds like these guys.

The Gibson SG was introduced in 1961 as a complete replacement for the Les Paul. The new design was thought to be a more modern solidbody guitar, with sleek beveled edges and two sharp cutaways. By late 1963, the Les Paul moniker was dropped, and the SG (or Solid Guitar) became an entirely separate model. The SG Custom carried on the high-end tradition of the Les Paul Custom, and featured an elegant ivory finish with gold hardware.
